id guess that he was 3-400 pounds lighter than the dsm. its a pretty big difference, not to mention he did have a bit more power.

 

I pulled on the same DSM and I am still on the stock twins (full bolt-ons w/ tune by Steve Kan) running about 13 psi.

We went from a 40-45 roll and i was in 3rd(should have went to 2nd) and she pulled a car on me b4 i stopped her pull and began my own By the time i shifted to fourth I had about half a car on her then I just walked away.

Either way the DMS owner was really cool and let us look at her setup( sorry but i can't remember what turbo or boost she was running but the car seemed well put together)and she did ALL the work herself. And she does have a heavy *** system in the back as well. So like you said before the 7 was deffinately a lot lighter than the DSM. Hope this clears things up a bit.

 

That's not a big enough difference to pull 12 cars. I forgot to ask if this was a 1st or 2nd gen DSM, because 2nd gen are heavier. I know 1st gen is 3100lbs. stock.

 

Ah so it was a 2G. I still doubt that it puts down 400whp. That's no easy feat if she was on pump gas.

 

The DSM was a 1G and FWD but there really is know way for us to know her exact #s or if she was full of BS all we can go by is what we were told. I am probably mistaken but I thought 400whp was not far at all out of reach for a DSM w/ aftermarket turbo and propper fuel and tuning pump gas or not. But like I said you would probably know better than me. But.....I do know what Dave's (Apnea) car is capable of, And I don't find it hard to beleive at all. I'll try to get some pix or maybe even video of this girls setup next time i am out there and i see her.

 

What exactly are you saying here? explain it to me like i'm a 5 year old.

 

Pruner that you? You're the guy with the MR2 right?

It certainly can be done, but you need really good tuning and most people don't do it with the stock internals. I mostly don't believe it because of the outcome of the race along with the difficulty of reaching that power level on pump gas safely. On race gas, I would more easily believe it.

Apneablue, pulling 12 cars is a ridiculous lead. Now that I know this car was a 1G FWD there is absolutely no way it was putting down 400whp, or the driver was at 50% throttle. FWD DSMs weigh in at only 2800lbs stock (sometimes lighter), which is similar to the FD. The race would have been very close even if the FD still won, but it certainly would not pull 12 cars.

 

Yup, it's me...all-seeing...all-knowing. You know, kinda like God.

 

Welcome to the club! You should post a couple photos of your car....

Dis dude has one of the sickest MR2s I've ever seen! Noooicce!
